Add a piece of British history to your collection with this 1940 Great Britain farthing coin. Produced during the Second World War under the reign of King George VI, this bronze coin is a classic piece of United Kingdom currency. The obverse features the left-facing portrait of King George VI, designed by Thomas Humphrey Paget. The reverse of the coin showcases the Eurasian wren bird design, created by Harold Wilson Parker. This small bird motif replaced the traditional Britannia image in 1937 and remained a staple of the British farthing until decimalization. The coin serves as a physical artifact from a pivotal year in global and British history.
